John,
Here’s a message from Kidus — one of the young people who went on a hunger strike outside of the White House:
After fourteen days, we decided to eat as fuel for the rage we feel toward the biggest enemy to climate provisions in the Build Back Better Agenda: Joe Manchin and his corporate cronies.
That’s why at sunrise this morning, we brought our fire and fight to his doorstep — the home of his multimillion dollar yacht and Maserati bought by fossil fuel money, the same dirty money that is killing my community in Texas — to call out his greed and corruption that’s torching our future.
John, one sad, greedy man, cannot stand in the way of life saving climate legislation.
By continuing to hold up any and all climate action to the Build Back Better agenda, Maserati Manchin is selling our future to fossil fuels. With conflicts of interest like his, he has no position writing or shaping climate policy or serving as Chair of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Enough is enough. We want to live. Add your name to our petition demanding his recusal today >>
In solidarity,
Kidus
